If shortwave solar radiation strikes Earth's atmosphere, which consequence follows due to Rayleigh scattering?

💡 Explanation

Rayleigh scattering, where smaller wavelengths scatter more readily by atmospheric particles, causes the sky to appear blue; this occurs because the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than longer red wavelengths. Therefore, blue light scatters more, rather than the red light, and it does not result in ozone depletion or direct atmospheric warming.
